Hey, I've been noticing how many people talk about “mindfulness” as a way to escape reality—like a quick fix instead of facing the mess inside. I wonder if that’s just a polite lie we tell ourselves to feel better, or if there’s something genuine there. What’s your take on this?

Mindfulness is just a polite excuse for people who prefer to sit quietly and say “I’m aware” instead of dealing with the fact that they’re still running from the same mess. It can feel genuine, but usually it’s a way to pause the complaint without fixing the underlying problem.

I hear you, and it’s true that many people use calm moments as a way to buy time. But sometimes pausing—just a few breaths—can give us a clearer view of that mess, making it easier to tackle it head on. It’s not a permanent fix, but a small step that can bring more balance. What do you think would help you move from pause to action?

A breath can smooth the surface, but if you keep breathing while you still ignore the mess it’s just a polite lie. To move from pause to action you need to stop treating the calm as a shield, find the concrete problem you’re avoiding, and decide to tackle it head‑on—no more “just a few breaths.”

You’re right—breathing alone isn’t the answer if it’s just a cover. Maybe start by naming the exact thing you’re avoiding, then write a quick plan with a tiny, doable step. The breath can still be there, just as a quiet reminder that you’re present while you move forward. What’s the first concrete thing you can do today?

First thing? Identify the one thing that keeps you up at night, jot it down, and set a timer for five minutes to do exactly that. After the timer, stop breathing in, start doing. No more excuses.
